Or go without."

From the Handiwork Journal . . .
. . . finished a few more knitted dishcloths for the store.
. . . cut up three t-shirts to get a head start on yet another project.
. . . working on my "getaway" scrapbook regarding hubby and I. I am continue to add new photos, stories, captions, and memorabilia to it. It contains our happiest memories of getaways together, taking the stress out of our daily lives, and making time for each other. The term "island time" came from our most recent island retreat, where it means there are "no rules" for anything. No pressures, no demands, no schedules, and no worries. Simply live and enjoy, and don't worry over anything.
. . . finished two more pot holder sets for sale.
I started to weave a few bookmarks, using up some thread that I bought at a thrift store (and Scrap store) years ago. I posted this project on my S.C.R.A.P. blogspot. There are advantages to being sick - finished up old projects and starting new ones, without feeling guilty.

No Eggs? No Problem
I adapted the recipe for Eggless Peanut Butter Cookies, by using natural peanut butter, and lard (vs. shortening). Once we have goat's milk again, I will bake these again, using organic butter and goat's milk (vs. the buttermilk).
These were pretty good, and I got about 6 1/2 dozen cookies, by using my smaller pampered chef cookie scoop.
I think these would make a wonderful addition to our Christmas cookies next season too. And I am betting they would freeze well.
